"Qian Er is fine, but Zhao Da is a piece of sh * t." Liao Yingzhong gritted his teeth. He obviously hated Zhao Da to the core.
"Why?" Song QingShu did not blindly ask who Zhao Da Qian 'er was. Jia Baoyu had been to the Island of Heroes before, and based on the situation back then, it was not the first or second time. It was very likely that he knew Zhao Da Qian' er's identity. If Song QingShu asked, wouldn't he be exposed?
Liao Yingzhong hesitated, then explained, "Now that the Prime Minister is dead, and you are about to become the master of the Jia family, there are some secrets that I should tell you."
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then continued, "The Prime Minister established the Island of Heroes for two reasons. On the one hand, he recruited people with special abilities from the Jianghu, and on the other hand, he recruited the children of some ministers in the court for future events."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but admire Jia Shidao's foresight. He had used the Island of Heroes to tie all the officials and generals in the court to him. No wonder his power had grown so fast that even Zhao Gou felt he couldn't stop it, so he had to use the strategy of self-destruction.
"Of course, in the beginning, he recruited the children of the branch families that weren't valued." Liao Yingzhong smiled bitterly. "After all, the direct descendants with a bright future wouldn't participate in this kind of bloodshed. Only the branch families that had never been able to make a name for themselves and were treated poorly would have enough ambition and motivation."
Song Qingshu nodded. Although the aristocratic families in this world weren't as powerful as they were in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they still shouldn't be underestimated. A family often had many branches and a large population, but the family's resources were limited. Only the direct descendants had the opportunity to make a name for themselves, and the children of the other families lived in terrible conditions. Seeing that their brothers weren't as capable as they were, but they could inherit the title in the future and have a meteoric rise, many people would feel resentful.
Liao Yingzhong continued, "Zhao Da and Qian Er are the highest in status among these people. Qian Er is the son of Qian Xiangzu, Qian Yun. His motive for joining the Island of Heroes is a bit different from the others. How do I put it? He's a bit of a Buddhist, unlike the others."
"Buddhist? Then why did he join the Island of Heroes? " Song Qingshu was thinking that Qian Xiangzu was the son of Qian Xiangzu. No wonder Qian Xiangzu and Jia Shidao seemed to have a good relationship in the court.
Liao Yingzhong replied, "It is very likely that he received his father's permission to join the Isle of Heroes. Perhaps Qian Xiangzu did not want to offend Prime Minister, so he used this opportunity to sell himself to Prime Minister.
After all, since the Taizu Dynasty, the Qian Family has always been neutral, and even a little slippery. If someone told me that he also placed a bet on Han Xingzhou, I wouldn't be surprised. "
Song Qingshu nodded in agreement. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the country was strong and powerful. King Qian Ti of Wuyue had to surrender. Perhaps from the perspective of that time, Zhao Kuangyin was the victor, but in reality, it was not necessarily so. The Qian family had always prospered and had many talented descendants. Qian Xiangzu had even become the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. What was even more amazing was that even after a thousand years, when Zhao Kuangyin's descendants had long disappeared and the Song Dynasty had become a thing of the past, the Qian family had survived. In later generations, they were still a top-notch noble family and had even produced world-famous legendary figures. To be able to do all of this, the teachings of their family must be extraordinary.
At this time, Liao Yingzhong also said, "At first, we suspected that Qian Yun had the intention of reviving the Wuyue Kingdom, but after some contact, we found that he was not such a person. In the end, Prime Minister and I both believed that he was only sent to the Isle of Heroes by the Qian family to protect himself."
Song Qingshu trusted Jia Shidao and Liao Yingzhong's judgment. People like them had been in contact with each other day and night, so it was impossible for them to be wrong about one person at the same time.
"On the contrary, Zhao Da …" Liao Yingzhong sneered and said, "He is very ambitious."
Song Qingshu thought to himself, "Can't you just say it all at once? It's not a crosstalk, and you need me to keep supporting you. However, he was also very curious about it, so even though he was a little dissatisfied, he still said," Why do you say that? "
"By the way, let me remind you, young master." Liao Yingzhong seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Young master has always been a good friend of Queen Beijing, but from now on, you should be more careful and be more vigilant."
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. "So he …"
Liao Yingzhong nodded and said, "That's right. Zhao Da is the current Queen Beijing, Zhao Shicheng."
Song Qingshu suddenly understood. When he and Lu You met him and Tang Wan in the Shen Garden, he noticed that they had martial arts, so he had been suspicious. Later, in order to determine the ownership of the military power of Sichuan, the imperial court decided to let Wu Xi and Murong Fu compete in front of the palace. The night before the competition, Queen Beijing invited Wu Xi to the palace and secretly did something to ensure that Murong Fu would win the competition. If Song Qingshu hadn't pretended to be Wu Xi at that time, they would have probably succeeded.
No wonder it was Jia Shidao's matter, but Queen Beijing came forward at that time.
It turned out that he was Zhao Da of the Isle of Heroes.
Liao Yingzhong continued to say, "After the Prime Minister's accident, I immediately invited him to discuss it, but he kept refusing. I guess he consciously drew a line with us, worried that the WuDang incident would involve him."
"That's human nature." Song Qingshu thought that Jia Shidao died to protect the emperor, which could only fool the ordinary people, but those well-informed high-level people, who couldn't guess a thing or two.
Hearing what he said, Liao Yingzhong was so excited that he slammed the table heavily. "If he just wanted to protect himself, it would be fine, but he secretly began to draw the forces that the Prime Minister had painstakingly built up. In addition to me, there are a few very important people under the Prime Minister's command. I, Weng Yinglong, and the Palace are the strategists. Pan Wenqing, Ji Ke, Chen Jian, Xu Qingsun, and others are the henchmen. Except for Chen Jian, who followed the Prime Minister to the WuDang Mountain and died in the battle, most of the others have been secretly drawn by Zhao Da. Only a few are still barely neutral. It's a pity that we suffered heavy losses in the WuDang battle. Otherwise, we would have definitely killed these traitors! "
Song Qingshu secretly remembered these names in his heart and planned to find a chance to quietly get rid of them in the future. He asked, "What does Queen Beijing want to do by secretly gathering so many forces?"
"What else?" Liao Yingzhong sneered. "Zhao Shicheng is the son of Emperor Taizong's great-great-grandson, Zhao Zhongming, and the grandnephew of Emperor Renzong's tenth daughter, Great Elder Princess of Qin Lu. Now that the Emperor has no heir, as a member of the royal family, he naturally has thoughts about that position."
"Mr. Liao, later, Madame will invite the young master to have dinner with her. Now there's not much time, and we have to help him wash and change clothes." At this time, Xiren's voice came from outside the door.
Liao Yingzhong frowned and finally agreed. "Well, I'll leave the young master to you."
Then he bowed to Song Qingshu and said, "The young master must be tired after going through so many dangers. Take a good rest today, and we'll talk to the young master tomorrow."
Outside the door, Liao Yingzhong pulled Xiren and whispered in her ear, "Miss Hua, I know that you and the young master are very close. Later when you help him bathe and change clothes, check his body carefully …"
Xiren frowned slightly. "Are you suspicious?"
Liao Yingzhong said in a low voice, "Although I've already tested him, I'm not as familiar with the young master as the people in this room. It's better to be careful."
